1st AMS-UMI JOINT MEETING  

In recent years there has been a growing interest in formulating and solving mathematical models to explain numerous experimental findings, also relevant to industrial applications. This minisymposium will focus on the mathematical challenges of all these endeavors. Both analytical and numerical aspects will be covered, as here they are extremely interwoven, particularly in elucidating complex behaviors which also call for the development of new numerical approaches.
 

The Symposium will be held in Pisa ( Tuscany ) on Saturday, June 15 2002, in the Polo Fibonacci facilities ( Department of Mathematics of the University of Pisa ). The scientific organizers are Prof. E.G. Virga (Pavia) and Prof. E.C. Gartland (Kent).  The schedule will include several presentations by American and Italian speakers.
